Freebie and 1st Day in my Classroom

My creative team (okay it was my mom, my son, and myself but it makes it sound more important saying my creative team) went in yesterday to my classroom for the first time. I moved to a SMALLER, smaller, did I mention smaller, room. I was tossing and turning most nights trying to imagine if my furniture would fit. After 3 hours it fits! What a relief!

I don't know about you, but I stress over my classroom every year. As you probably know, I change my theme every year, so that adds to the stress. I am planning on going in again next week with my creative team and empty my boxes. Then I'm hoping I can start the fun stuff...decorating...the following week. That is the fun part! I can't wait. I will take pictures the next time I go in.

On another note, I like to give my students a healthy snack for the first full day of school. It is a long day and I like them to have energy to make it through. I buy the smile fruit snacks from WalMart and attach this little tag to it. If you like it, click on the picture and it's yours.

About Me

I am a third grade teacher in Mokena, Illinois. I've taught for over 20 years. After all these years, I still love my job! It is challenging and rewarding, but I wouldn't change a thing (except maybe the paperwork). I am married and have two wonderful boys (one in college and one in grade school).
